2360 creative burnout
From the EGOT Grand Slam to two Oscar winner, from the North American box office of 3 billion US dollars to the global box office of 7 billion, there is only one winner in the three major European film festivals: Venice... Renly's career as an actor is indeed Reached a height that is difficult to reach, and it is too cold to be high.
In fact, since the beginning of last year, there have been subtle changes in Renly's selection of works: "Jurassic World", "Rogue One", "Power Rangers", "Lobster"”.
Including the black comedy movie "The Lobster", Renly's acting line and style have gradually gotten rid of the fixed image of previous years. He is making more attempts and challenges, just like Meryl Streep , trying to find more possibilities on the big screen, opening up the field of performance while also continuing his acting career. Otherwise, the path forward in the field of art films may only become narrower and narrower..
There are rumors in the industry that Renly is also facing a period of burnout and transition, but his dilemma is slightly different from other actors. It is not the so-called Golden Man curse or the EGOT curse, but the bottleneck period of Renly's own "enthusiasm for performance". In other words, it is a bottleneck period that every great actor must face before becoming an "old actor". Just like the "seven-year itch" in marriage, some things are the laws of nature and are unavoidable..
What may be bothering him is not the wishes of Hollywood, but his own fighting spirit and enthusiasm. Behind the halo of the crown, Renly is still an ordinary person after all..
Originally it was just a joke, so Andy mentioned it as a joke, but he didn't expect that Renly didn't refute it, which made Andy a little flustered..
A small detail change can be noticed here. Andy always has a Maitreya-like smile in his daily life. His expression remains unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain. He is always able to skillfully hide his emotions behind his smiling expression. Real thoughts, and then step by step to achieve the goal for the camp; but at this moment, although Andy still maintains a smile, the emotional fluctuations in his eyes are particularly obvious, and others can easily interpret it..
After years of cooperation, Renly and Andy are taking off their masks little by little. A look or a word can often make them understand..
“……If necessary, we can take a break for half a year or a year. There is no need to rush to continue working. You can stop and relax. You need to rest..”
Before Renly said a word, Andy had already changed his direction and completely abandoned his original intention of coming to the Prince's Garden today..
This made Renly chuckle, "You came all the way here today just for a new job, right?"？”
In recent weeks, Renly has been busy, and Andy has not been idle either - because of the "Rogue One" crew, Andy has been traveling back and forth between New York and London, helping Renly coordinate his interpersonal relationships as much as possible. Renly doesn't have enough energy to deal with the trivial matters in social situations. Andy must team up with Roy to stand up and stand in front of Renly, one of whom is a bad guy and the other a red face, trying to handle the matter perfectly..
In fact, the same is true today. Andy is handling work in London, while Roy has already gone to Cannes to attend some events on behalf of Renly - this is why the positions of agents and managers are so important. Assistants can change frequently, but But they need to represent the image of artists.
Andy didn't hesitate at all and raised the corners of his mouth, "That's not important." After a pause, he added, "In your current position, quality is more important than quantity. You just finished the filming of 'Rogue One' It doesn't matter if I take a break for the whole year after filming..”
Renly's eyes showed a smile.
Andy went on to explain, "The original works of the Don Quixote Channel are also being expanded in an orderly manner. One more for you is not too much, and one for you is not too little. You don't have to force yourself for this matter. Even if you don't appear in the work , the influence you can bring to Sisyphus Films is enough.”
Renly could feel Andy's sincerity.
The smile in his eyes slowly settled down. He chewed the madeleine cake carefully, feeling the dense texture. The faint sweetness of honey spread on the tip of his tongue. After swallowing it slowly, Renly spoke. Said, "I must admit, I was actually a little confused after winning the Oscar again. Confusion about acting and my acting career. I thought I would never have similar confusions, but they did appear after all..”
Everyone is growing and changing. Although Renly still loves acting deeply and his dreams and goals have never changed, after all, Renly is no longer the enthusiastic young boy who ran wildly. - Standing in front of the camera again can still make him happy, but the excitement and joy of thousands of butterflies fluttering their wings together has disappeared, and he is slowly returning to calm..
When filming "Jurassic World" and "The Lobster," it wasn't obvious, but recently, with the second Oscar and then Kathleen Kennedy, things surrounding the performance are no longer pure, that deep A deep sense of fatigue will arise..
Some time ago, Renly was completely immersed in the daily work of the crew, as if being pushed forward by a powerful force. Even though there were some turbulent emotions in his mind, he could only grit his teeth and persevere; but after the filming was completed, his nerves were tense Once you relax, the feeling of fatigue will come over you heavily..
“When we were children, we always thought that we would never get tired of chocolate and ice cream, and we always thought that we would never lose our enthusiasm for life; but as we grow up, after the 'forever' we once thought gradually disappears, deep down in our hearts Some part of it has completely died..”
Renly showed a self-deprecating smile. Although he was a little helpless, his brows were still filled with relief. It could be seen that he was not too troubled, but...sighed..
“So, have I grown up now?？”
Renly held the empty glass in his hand. There was still some light warmth of honey lemonade left on the wall of the glass, lingering in his palm..
Andy fell silent. He tried to help Renly, but he didn't know how to start..
Rooney sat on the sofa hugging her knees, her chin drooped, not looking at Renly, but listening carefully, "Or maybe we are starting to learn how to read..”
Renly and Andy both cast their gazes towards Rooney..
“The French are always like this. They read every day and everyone thinks. For them, philosophy is actually an integral part of life. Why are they happy and sad? Why are they alive and what is the meaning of living? What does death mean? What, what is work, what is art?.”
“Perhaps, in the past, I just simply loved performances, but now I am beginning to try to understand performances and interpret the connotation of performances from the perspective of artistic creation. What do those skills, those emotions, and those moments give to the characters, and what do they give to us? Which parts of us are integrated with the characters, where should the line between reality and art be drawn? And so on and so forth..”
Then, Rooney tilted her head and looked at Renly with bright eyes, "Can you tell me the answers to these questions?？”
Look at the mountains as mountains, look at the water as water.
Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water.
Look at mountains or mountains, water or water.
After stumbling and stumbling around, Renly's acting career began to enter the third stage, and he got a glimpse of more things at the palace level. Those fatigues and embarrassments are just a short period after losing direction-some people may spend a lifetime. No one can reach such a stage; some people may be trapped in this stage all their lives; only a very, very few people can complete the transformation from cocoon to butterfly again..
The difference between actors and actors is not their performance skills or enthusiasm, but their understanding of performance, perception of life and interpretation of art..
Art, the reason why it is art, ultimately requires thinking, combined with the precipitation and reflection of life, and then reflected in the works of art, ultimately forming a unique perception that belongs to each creator. Every work of art is unique in the world. The same is true for the existence and performance of.
However, Renly is not sure where he stands now or how he should break through. The confusion and confusion are always lingering in his mind..
Even now, Rooney's words cannot answer Renly's doubts - it sounds reasonable, but when you taste it carefully, it has a different meaning. After thinking about it more deeply, it extends to another world. Lanly Li failed to have an "epiphany", but instead there were more and more question marks.
He needs time and space.
No one can help Renly, not even Rooney and Andy. Renly must rely on himself to find the direction. This is his alone battle..
Renly cast his gaze towards Rooney, and then he saw the gentle smile in Rooney's eyes. It was not bright, but extremely firm. She was looking at him quietly, which made the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth follow. rose, "I guess, to other people, I'm dealing with a pointless worry..”
“So they can't be Vincent Van Gogh, so they can't understand Renly Hall." Rooney's words successfully made Renly chuckle..
1888In 1999, Van Gogh, who was in trouble and doubt, left Paris and went to Arles in the south of France. There, he completed the most important transformation of his artistic concept and created "Yellow House" and "Sunflowers"; at the same time, he also He left behind a treasure trove of paintings that were not accidentally discovered until nearly a century later..
Every artist needs to face their own difficulties.
Renly's eyes were full of smiles, and he pursed his lips slightly, "I can't refute it." That self-deprecating joke made both Rooney and Andy laugh, and then Renly threw himself at Andy. Sight, "So, what have you prepared? Let you take some time out of your busy schedule..”
“……”Andy hesitated for a moment. The situation now has changed from when he set out, but if he thought about it seriously, "You can listen and tell the truth. If you are not interested, don't force yourself. No reason will do.".”
